16 Celebs Who Pay It Forward By Leaving Massive Tips

Like anyone who sees Hamilton for the first time — not that I'd know :( :( :( — Amy Schumer fangirled her face off in a series of Instagram posts that made headlines over the weekend. She not only took in the Grammy Award-winning hit show (you know, the one that is virtually impossible to get tickets to), but she also hung with the cast, posed with the Playbills, oh, and generously tipped her bartender $1,000. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Schumer's beyond generous tip for her Hamilton bartender is making the rounds all across the Internet. (In typical Amy Schumer fashion, she later tweeted, "This is really embarrassing but I've fallen on hard times and I need that money back.") Of course, Schumer is far from the first star to be such a generous tipper — in fact, she joins the ranks of many celebs who are big tippers.

Whether they do it to be kind, because they can understand trying to make ends meet, or even just to flaunt their wealth ("Look how many Benjamins I can drop!") celebs who tip well definitely earn a special place in the hearts of the general public. And it's not just the occasional star, either — there are many celebs who have been known to drop several hundred (and even several thousand) on waitstaff. Check 'em out below.

Schumer's generosity at Hamilton is not the first time the actor has tipped well. According to Page Six, Schumer was eating at a restaurant out on Long Island this past summer, and left her waiter — a college student named Ryan working two jobs to pay for school — a $500 tip. On a $49 bill.

When it came time to pay the bill at The Cheesecake Factory (not even celebrities can resist that brown bread), there was a bit of a mixup in Britney Spears' camp. According to TMZ, she thought that her bodyguard had paid, and he thought that she had paid, actually (and embarrassingly) resulting in no one paying. In addition to ending up footing the $30 bill, Spears tipped the waitress $100 (a 300 percent tip!), the site claims.

When you're living a life as luxurious as Kim Kardashian's, dropping a $300 tip on a $200 bill is no biggie, which Kardashian did according to TMZ. But for her waiter at Brennan's in NOLA (where the reality star and pals chowed down), being on the receiving end of that kind of generosity is pretty darn sweet.

14. Johnny Depp

Real talk: Has there ever been a better tipper than Johnny Depp? The actor once tipped a Chicago waiter a whopping $4,000, the waiter told RadarOnline, adding that he's waited on Depp before and the actor calls him by his nickname.
